The latest chapter of "The Three Kingdoms: Runan Chen Bozhi"...
Ma Zhong ran in with great interest and said loudly: "Lord, lord, good news, good news." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chen Lin looked at it, looked at Ma Zhong's elated appearance, and said, "What good news, make you happy like this?" Ma Zhong: "That's the lord, after the big battle a few days ago, didn't the lord put back the hundreds of prisoners." In the past few days, there are always soldiers from Yongmen and Zhu Bao who have gone to the Gaoding camp, and now Yongmen Zhu Bao and Gaoding have fallen out. ”
Chen Lin nodded and thought about it, and said: "This is a good thing, but the two originally had contradictions, although the contradictions have deepened now, but after all, there are still nearly 30,000 troops, if our army attacks hard, even if it wins, then it is impossible to turn back and compete with the barbarians, the meaning of the lonely king is to subdue at least half of the rebels for my use." "Yunnan has gathered nearly 100,000 barbarian soldiers, which is like a huge stone pressing on the top of Chen Lin's head, I don't know when this stone will fall down.
At this time, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng happened to come in, Fa Zheng: "The lord is right, most of the Yongmen Gaoding rebels are ignorant and ignorant, and they are deeply deceived, as long as Yongmen and Gaoding die, our army can collect these soldiers and horses, although there is no combat power in the short term, but it is possible to defend the city." ”
Chen Lin: "You two come here, is there any news from the Yongmen grain transportation team?" Jia Xu smiled and said to Fa Zheng: "Filial piety, just say so, this designation can't hide from the lord." Then he turned back to Chen Lin: "Lord, the scouts of the three generals have returned, and in the southwest, Yongmen has successfully transported grain from Hushan twice. Now, as the rebels besiege Xinggu for longer, the more serious the food shortage will become, and now Yongmen and Gaoding have sent more men and horses to the rear to urge the grain to be transported. Now there are two teams coming from a hundred miles away. ”
Chen Lin was puzzled: "Two teams and two teams? Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and said, "Exactly, lord, guess why?" Chen Lin: "Come less, I'm afraid that Gaoding and Yongmen divide their troops, and they don't even believe in each other's major events of transporting grain, but?" ”
Jia Xu nodded: "Yes, these two teams are Gao Ding and Yongmen divided their troops, and the two teams are only ten miles away, and there are two or three thousand people, and there are equally many soldiers to escort them." "The two forces are less than ten miles apart, which is a bit of a problem
Fa Zheng: "That's not all, now the situation of our army's strength has been clearly seen by Yongmen and Gao Ding, as long as our army moves, the two of them will definitely know." Therefore, the soldiers and horses of this grain must not go too much, otherwise they will be known by the two of them before they leave the camp. ”
Chen Lin: "How is it in Xinggu City?" Huang Yan: "Young Master, since our army came, the rebels did not dare to attack the city on a large scale, but they still surrounded, in the past month, Wang Ping came out four times, and the last one was four days ago, at that time Wang Ping said that the food in the ancient city of Xing is absolutely worry-free, and the only thing to worry about is the problem of troops. ”
Jia Xu: "There are not many troops in the city, not only our army knows, but I am afraid that Yongmen also knows this." However, due to the peep of our army from the side, even if he Yongmen attacked the city every day, he could only attack with a small group of men and horses, and most of the soldiers and horses were mainly to prevent our army. Yongmen's method is to consume time with our army, consume a little resistance in the city every day, and it will be effective over time. ”
Fa Zheng: "That's right, it's a pity that the only shortcoming of Yongmen and Gaoding is the problem of the succession of grain and grass, since this is the case, then our army should take this as the direction of breakthrough, so this time the rebel grain transport team must be intercepted no matter what." ”
Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, yes, the two of you have a reasonable analysis, if you don't do something, maybe you really let the rebels use the time to attack the city." In order to rejuvenate the materials in the ancient city, at that time, our army wanted to take down the rebels again, and it was difficult to reach the sky. In this way, our army's goal of destroying all the way first will not be achieved, and when the time comes, we will still have to face the barbarians and Yongmen, which is not desirable or desirable. ”
"Someone, generals, please." Chen Lin looked up and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, Huang Zhong and the others did not arrive, Chen Lin said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, the lonely king wants to go to intercept the grain in person, and the troops are not much, just bring the bloody guards, which is enough." Jia Xu was shocked, this is too risky.
"The Lone King is considered, what you said just now is right, now the strength of our army, Yongmen Gaoding is already clear at a glance, the army should not move lightly, the blood guards are only a thousand people, and the blood guards are less in the camp, even if Yongmen is suspicious, he will definitely not expect the Lone King to personally intercept the grain."
As soon as Chen Zhi and the others came, of course, they were also opposed, but Chen Lin was resolute, the ability of the Scarlet Guards Chen Lin knew that no one could understand these people better than Chen Lin, and no one could think that Chen Lin could control these people like this. Chen Lin said: "Running a hundred miles tonight, who in the army can do it, even if it is done, can still fight at dawn, and can defeat the grain transportation team?" No, but the Scarlet Guards can, not only to travel a hundred miles tonight, but also to win a surprise victory tomorrow. So you don't need to persuade the lonely king anymore, the lonely king has made up his mind, and tonight, a thousand blood-colored guards rushed to the southwest. ”
That night, it was dark, and with a wave of Chen Lin's hand, a thousand soldiers and horses quickly moved the fence from the corner of an inconspicuous camp in the northwest, and then quickly disappeared into the night. Chen Lin rode on a horse, because this was a rapid march, Chen Lin was not afraid that someone would find them along the way, but in order to better hurry, the torches were one by one. The fire was blown by the wind as it ran, but the whole army was silent.
Chen Lin: "Let the previous scouts come to see the Lone King." "After a while, the scouts who ran in front rushed in, this is Chen Zhi's scout, who is leading the way for the Scarlet Guards. Chen Lin: "When we found out the enemy's grain transport team during the day, what was the position, what is the position now, and where is our army now?" ”
The scout swallowed his saliva and said: "Your lord, it's like this, there are four teams of scouts in the small group, and after finding out the enemy's grain transportation team yesterday, the small team came back to report, leaving three teams to monitor along the way. The scout team has a specific contact method, just when the king sent out the army, the small one has already sent someone out to spy again, according to the distance, it will probably take about an hour, it should be able to pick up the scouts of our army, and then they will give the king specific information. ”
Chen Lin thought about it, there was nothing wrong, this scout had been away from the grain transport team for a day and a night, and of course he didn't know the specific situation. Sure enough, just as Chen Lin marched again for about an hour, the scout came back with a person in the same attire: "Meet the king, contact the scout who is watching." ”
The scout also hurriedly knelt down to pay respects, and when Chen Lin heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked how the situation was. Scout: "Your Majesty, on a small hill thirty miles ahead, is the camp of the enemy's grain transport team tonight, and there is another team less than eleven miles away from there. On the hill in front of them, there were about 2,000 people, about 3,000 soldiers, and the leader was a high-ranking general, whose name was not clear. The latter part is Zhu Bao's grain transportation team, and now there are only so many of Zhu Bao's headquarters left, all of them are here, about 3,000 people, but Zhu Bao is not here. The army was also camped on a hill with no water. ”
When Chen Lin heard this, these scouts were quite qualified, and it could be seen from the report on whether there was a water source, but Chen Lin was a surprise attack tonight, and he would leave after burning the grain and grass, and he would not attack for a long time, and it didn't matter if the water source was not a water source. Chen Lin thought that the two were too close, attacking one, and the other would definitely see the fire. It's better to hit the high-end department in front, so that even if the back knows, they won't run quickly, as long as the grain can't reach Xinggu, that's a good thing, even if Chen Lin spends a few days here, it doesn't matter.
Chen Lin immediately ordered to fight Gaoding. The sky in the east has turned white, but this is the time when people sleep the deepest in the night, when they are most tired, and when they are the least vigilant. There are also sentry posts in the camp of the mediocre generals, and it is the same here, Chen Lin lies in front, pointing at the faintly visible camp with Huang Yan and a few others. But I saw that there were two groups of soldiers on the left and right in front of me, and there was a two-zhang high watchtower, and there were also figures on it, which moved from time to time.
Huang Yan: "Young Master, I'll hand over the watchtower to so-and-so." "Speaking of bows and arrows, even Huang Zhong may not dare to say that he will definitely be able to defeat Huang Yan, with him, the people on a watchtower are not dead by arrows. It's easy to do underground, Chen Lin still wants to wipe people's necks by himself, how could Zhou Cang and the others agree, in the end, it was Ma Zhong, a clever ghost, who led people, and Huang Yan also followed at the same time.
Chen Lin kept holding the blood-colored guards behind: "Keep your head down, look at it, you will kill it later." Remember, the weapon killed, there are a lot of people in it, those are all people, as long as you don't resist, don't mess around. "This group of goods really has no mercy, not to mention the people, if Chen Lin doesn't give an order, even if it is a baby in the robe, they can start and exchange their heads for money.
After a while, Zhou Cang kept patting Chen Lin and shouted in a low voice: "Big Young Master, Big Young Master, it's started." As soon as Chen Lin turned around, he saw two passers-by in front of him, suddenly bursting out, slashing at the bewildered enemy sentry. Chen Lin hurriedly looked at the watchtower, only to see a few flutters on it, without the slightest movement, thinking that he was shot to death by Huang Yan.
Chen Lin looked at it, Ma Zhong over there began to move away from the horse fence, Chen Lin suddenly jumped out, Zhou Cang hurriedly led the horse, Chen Lin yelled: "Whisper, up." ”
A piece of blood red pierced the sleeping lion, splashing an even bigger piece of blood red. Chen Lin's war horse slapped and rushed to the front of the camp gate, at this time the blood-colored guards also approached, Chen Lin roared, now there is no need to hide: "The blood-colored guards." ”
"God of Killing"
"Rush, set fire, kill."
The sound of the blood-colored guards killing the gods made many high-end soldiers and horses jump in their sleep, presumably it must be some nightmare, but what is more terrifying is not the dream, but some people are even ended in the dream. The blood-colored guards rushed over and threw their torches, and the soldiers sleeping in the tents got up slowly, and when they ran out, they were already covered in flames, howling and rolling.
Chen Lin looked at it and said, "It's done." ”
